10-28-2025 — Icebrrrg Let Us
Howdy all. Chilly and then some. Temperatures right around freezing the last two mornings. Had to turn on furnace downstairs when I got up. The 58 -60 upstairs is GREAT for sleeping (hibernating), but not so good when I’m surfing the web on the computer.
High temperatures barely hitting 50. But no rain — not needed for now since growing season is over. Winds have been off and on. And when they are on, it is very cold. Brrr.
I’ve been continuing to 3D print off “poop” chute attachments for the printers. I now need to install the stuff. Need 2 sets of hands. I can’t lift and move the printers, while sliding other things onto the tables.
For the holidays, I ordered some wrapping papers that has Kitty’s picture on them. From China, of course. So I can only hope it will arrive. What did arrive was a couple of “door” mats I had printed with her image.
I put this one outside of her litter box. Thought it fit the idea well.
The other is at the front door, logically. I am leaving it inside for now. There are too many dead and dying bugs out there yet. Yes, the midges still are alive. Not nearly as many as before, but always a few crawling about in the cold, or flying in the later portions of the day.
Oh, remember a couple weeks ago when I showed the latest “harvest” of indoor tomatoes, and mentioned I did a cleanup and started new seeds? Well, here are the 3 pods I put seed into.
I will eliminate one of two plants in each pod, once one shows dominance and is larger. I’ve found only using a few pods of the nine, allows for the roots to have much more room below, and thus grow better plants above.
Health update. Tummy is doing much better. Just an occasional discomfort. The thumb (right hand) I popped is also doing much better. Swelling is down and movement a lot less painful. The left thumb is still giving some nasty pains when I least expect it. I doubt it will improve as I age.
And as for Kitty,,,
Just give her a place to take a nap and she is content.
Kitty understands what it is to Enjoy Life
